This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence medium — classification split: anthropic=first-party, openai=cdn, gemini=cdn. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
The hostname pattern 'aexp-static' aligns with American Express's known 'aexp' branding and the app's own bundle ID (com.americanexpress.ios.travel), suggesting a first-party static-asset/CDN endpoint rather than a third-party tracker, though I have not verified the domain's registration and the 'icm' subdomain's function is unclear. A first-party asset fetch does not by itself evidence a data flow beyond the declared (empty) label, so undisclosed is set to false pending payload-level evidence.
OpenAI — cdn
The aexp-static.com hostname appears likely to serve static American Express content, but ownership and the specific endpoint function are not provided. A static-content contact alone does not establish a data flow absent from the label.
Google Gemini — cdn
The domain icm.aexp-static.com is a first-party content delivery network operated by American Express (AEXP) to serve static assets. Requesting static assets from a first-party CDN does not inherently imply undisclosed tracking or personal data collection.
